Wheel Spacers VS Wheel Adapters : What is the difference ?

Image
Many people thought wheel spacers and wheels adapters are identical.But in fact,they are two different things. Every wheel adapter is also a wheel spacer. But a wheel spacer is not a wheel adapter. Read here, someone may be confused and ask what is the difference between wheel spacers and adapters ? We did a search on prime and asked some mechanics for help.Now ,let us explain this issue. What’s wheel spacers and wheel adapters ? Wheel spacer is a term used to describe a disc that pushes a wheel away from the hub, hence lowering the offset at which it is. A wheel adapter is usually a spacer of sorts, however a change in bolt pattern (and possibly center bore) occurs in the process. For example a common use  for wheel adapters is on older VW Jetta's and GTI's.

Friction block from the friction material, adhesive composition, the brake was squeezed in the brake disc or brake drum on the friction, so as to achieve the purpose of vehicle braking. Due to friction, the friction block will gradually be worn, in general, the lower the cost of the brake pads ,wear faster.

While doing so, the RZR does it's best to play an interesting numbers game. In the northeast where I hang my helmet, most of the wheeling we do involves tight tree-filled trails, rocks, ruts, roots, mud, and seemingly ever-changing trail conditions. The RZR S 1000 EPS is wide enough to provide excellent stability, but not so wide that it can only negotiate trails meant to handle Jeeps. To put it in perspective, the RZR S 1000 EPS is 60" wide with a 79" wheelbase. The bigger brother RZR XP chassis is 64" wide, but the wheelbase is stretched out to 90". This gives t...
